Lake Hillier, Middle Island,Recherche Archipelago, Western Australia. The solid bubble gum pink color of the lake is permanent, and does not alter when the water is taken in a container. The island and lake are thought to have been first charted by the Flinders expedition in 1802. John Thistle, the ship's master, collected some of the lake's water, which he found to be saturated with salt.Although the source of the pink color has not been definitively proven in the case of Lake Hillier.
